Slow group

Dont think ill ever play this course again. Went out and sailed through first eight holes with no problems then hit a brick wall. Threesomes and foursomes barely moving. Decided i didnt have time fore a 5 hour round so i skipped about 4 holes and passed the group that was slowing everyone down. All smoking swisher sweets and drinking some kind of cognac.. No ranger on duty. I went and played 4 holes on front 9 while they played 1 hole(18) ill miss it but wont play it again.

Not Bad, but not great either

Played this course many times over the last 30 years, always enjoy it. Greens and tee box were in respectable shape, but many fairways were in really rough shape, not totally anyones fault, been extremely dry this summer.

Slow on a Tuesday morning.

Don’t put signs up that say 4 hour pace if you don’t mean it.

They let someone jump in front of us on the back 9. And then when I asked if they started on the back they called me a cry baby and some obscenities. The ranger did not kick off the disruptive guests as their sign says.

rough shape

Why have sand traps if there never maintained? A pond on the tenth green with several geese having a party. With just a little more effort this could be a nice course. sad.

Angry ranger

First time on the course, and bought a 4 some. One member didn’t show, so we had 3 in our group. A solo player was behind us and we let him play through us. Course ranger rolled up on us irritate, saying we need to give up our cart. We calmly explained he isn’t with us just playing through. He didn’t like our answer and ran to get a manager. Who proceeded to attempt to steal our cart while we waited at the next hole. Course ranger refused to apologize, and spent the next 3 hours following our 3 some on the course.

Terrible customer service

I booked 18 holes with a cart through the app. Took my boys and played nine holes in a little over two hours when we went to make the turn we were told we had to wait at least 30 minutes for a league to start. The league starts at 3:30. We were ready to make the turn at 3:15 but were told we couldn’t. We were not given a rain check option and we’re treated very poorly despite the fact that we remained polite and we’re never made aware that there was a league teeing off until we got to the 10th hole.

Great bang for buck

Nice course,

undulating greens in good condition

Putts will make or break your score

Few geens have small trouble spots

I've played this course few time in the last few years and it seems to improve slightly each time

Sand traps aren't abundant but seem to be in good condition . Fair ways are mostly in good condition with the exception of one or two but like I said improving

I shoot between 88 and 95 here my handicap 20.5
